Visiting Card Invitations

Visiting Card Invitations
With the exception of invitations to house-parties, dinners and luncheons,
the writing of notes is past. For an informal dance, musical, picnic, for
a tea to meet a guest, or for bridge, a lady uses her ordinary visiting
card:
To meet
Miss Millicent Gilding
Mrs. John Kindhart
Tues. Jan. 7.
Dancing at 10. o'ck.
350 Park Avenue
or
Wed. Jan. 8.
Bridge at 4. o'ck.
Mrs. John Kindhart
R.s.v.p.
350 Park Avenue
Answers to invitations written on visiting cards are always formally
worded in the third person, precisely as though the invitation had been
engraved.
Special
thanks to Emily Post on her wonderful tips on
etiquette and invites.
